Beara

Beara

On the other side of Bantry Bay lies the remote Beara Peninsula which is dominated by the Caha Mountains and offers views of the distant Skellig Islands. It boasts the highest waterfall in Ireland and Britain as well as one of the oldest mythological antiquities, Cailleach Beara. The Allihies Copper Mines are so deep that they go under the sea and the Dursey Island cable car is the only one to carry people over open water in Europe.
